Chapter 1: Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Applications
Most modern applications are **data-intensive**, not compute-intensive. The bottleneck is rarely the CPU — it's the amount of data, how fast it changes, and.

Data models are probably the most important part of developing software — they shape not just how we write the code, but how we *think about the problem*. Each.
As an application developer, you usually just call your database and trust it to do the right thing. But to choose the right database and tune it properly, you.
Applications change over time — requirements evolve, new features are added, bugs are fixed. Your data model must evolve too. But in large systems, you can't.
